Don Young Co.

dyc windowOur goal is to make the most efficient, easy to clean, durable, and maintenance-free windows possible. From our thick aluminum walls, which provide the best choice for strength and durability, to our baked-on enamel paint finish – tough enough to stand up against the harshest of summers and the coldest of winters.

No need to worry about painting these windows. Best of all, it's a superior insulated glass system that provides optimum energy performance and outside noise control. We can also offer an optional solar control glass that offers protection against UV rays and scorching summer heat. All backed by our limited lifetime warranty.

 

 

Strong, Durable, and Efficient 

Part

Heavy-duty metal spiral balances for dependable, smooth, maintenance free operation. No ropes or pulleys to wear or break.

Screw

Safety tilt latch allows sash to tilt in for easy cleaning. Safety lock prevents children from inadvertently tilting window.

Close Look
Thermally insulated glass system with an advanced
non-conductive edge spacer retards heat and cold
transfer through the edge of the glass for additional
energy savings.

Cut
Premium performance weather-stripping with Mylar-fin barrier on two sides of sash gives double protection against wind, dust, airborne allergens,
and noise pollution.

Shape

Interlock system locks both sashes together to prevent high winds from separating sashes, provides tighter seal, and added security.

Metal
Aluminum glazing bead holds up against the sun's damaging UV rays. Will not crack and warp like common plastic glazing beads. Our premium aluminum glazing beads eliminates the
possibility of air and water leakage

Performance & Comfort

SunShield® windows are designed to conserve energy and reduce your home heating and cooling costs. The combination of vinyl's excellent insulating properties and specially designed insulating air chambers makes vinyl frames a formidable barrier to energy transfer. Plus, combining warm edge ¾" insulating glass with Low-E and argon gas will maximize energy performance. It is this combination of technologies that effectively decreases heating and cooling costs while at the same time minimizes sound transmission. Low-E also blocks up to 86% of the harmful ultraviolet rays which can fade carpets, draperies, and artwork. In addition, argon gas is 48% less conductive than air, thereby reducing the transfer of hot and cold – adding even more thermal efficiency. Tests performed to the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) method demonstrate the superiority of vinyl windows versus alternative framing materials. Vinyl windows keep the warm air in during the winter and the cool air in during the summer. In fact, using conservative national averages, upgrading to double glazed, energy efficient all-vinyl windows could save a homeowner more than 32% a year during the coldest part of the winter or the hottest part of the summer.

Energy Efficient

SunShield® windows are 40% more efficient than the products required under the most common national building codes. An average household spends most of its annual energy budget on heating and cooling costs. Installing Energy Star® windows can reduce those energy bills by up to 32%. Warm edge insulating glass with Low-E and argon gas has a 89% better U-factor than conventional double pane insulating glass units. Argon gas filled glass units also reduce sound transmission by 3-4 decibels, making SunShield® windows more efficient at noise reduction. In choosing SunShield® windows, you can be assured that you have chosen a product that will save energy on your heating and cooling costs.

Efficiently Beautiful

The SunShield® window is the ultimate in beauty, efficiency, and strength, designed to enhance your home's appeal while increasing its comfort level. The beauty of the new soft curved welded sash design, and the unique cove mold look of the welded master frame offers a more traditional wood window interior and exterior appearance. Energy efficiency, security, and sound reduction performance are achieved by premium ¾" insulating glass, maximum weather stripping, and precisely engineered interlocking vinyl window extrusions. The strength of the SunShield® window comes from heavy walled construction, fusion welded frame and sashes that are reinforced with heavy gauge aluminum extrusions, interlocking meeting rails and a low profile one piece sloped sill, and finally, the natural beauty of the maintenance free finish of SunShield® vinyl, which retains its sheen year after year, even in tough southern exposure.

Designs with Individuality

Every SunShield® fully welded window is customized to your specifications, and designed and constructed to meet your needs with styles and options you choose. This assures you of a perfect fit without altering the architectural structure of your home. Careful and clean installation is performed by qualified professionals.

Elements of Style

SunShield® welded windows are available in almost every size, in a variety of styles, and can be combined with casement windows for a seamless appearance. Select a traditional window or design a special look by combining with picture windows, casements, awnings, sliders, and consider the classic bay or bow. And, all windows made of SunShield® vinyl are available in Linen White, Desert Sand, and Adobe.
